Hello I have a DT85 which will not sleep. It has external power and I have set registers P15=3 and P17=300 but it stays on between 4 hour uploads. I see that if there incomplete jobs entered it will not sleep. How would I see these and how to delete these? Is there another reason for it not going to sleep
I have an Identical machine which is sleeping no problem.
Program as follows any help would be greatly appreciated

Good morning MLCarter,

I think it might be something to do with the way you have set sleep mode.
You have set P17 to 5 minutes, so if the logger has any activity on the network then it will stay awake for 5 minutes from that point.
There generally is a lot of traffic on a network and when connected to a network the dataTaker is generally awake so it can respond to any network inquiries.

Check your Profile Modem_Session settings to see if you have the Key Timing_Control set to off.
e.g PROFILE MODEM_SESSION TIMING_CONTROL="OFF"

This should allow the modem to turn off when not transmitting data.

Cheers,
Roger

Thanks Roger,

Yes I added
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION MIN_DURATION_s=300
PROFILE MODEM_SESSION TIMING_CONTROL=OFF

Which has fixed it, it is sleeping between uploads.

However here seems to be an old connection which seems to wake it about every 10 minutes, could this be a connection which was set up with the web interface and is still there? Can you suggest how to get rid of this please.
I tried a HRESET but it is still happening

Good morning MLCarter,

If the modem is off then there are no TCP/IP connections.
Check your profile setting to see if there is any thing to wake it up.

Cheers,
Roger

Hello Roger,

see there are global settings that can be set from the web interface(including modem/dns settings etc). I have found them stored in user/config.dcx. Do these over ride the current job settings. In there the timing_control is set to ALWAYS

Can I edit the config.dxc file and FTP it back?

Regards Mark

Good afternoon Mark,

Save your configuration file.
Open a command window.
Send the following commands

DelAllJobs 'Clear all jobs and their data from the logger
FactoryDefaults ' Reset the logger back to factory defaults (This reset all profile settings.)

Then load up the configuration check the profile setting are correct and test it. Warning it will load up all the settings from the previous configurations including those you didn't want.
If it doesn't work the run the commands again and redo the dEX configuration from the start. This way you have a known starting point.

Cheers,
Roger

Hello Roger,

I tried that but still it is doing a DNS hookup approx every 30 mins (varying and not exactly) and trying to do an ftp hookup which has a missing password. I can't see where this is coming from in the dEX. Could it be an alarm? I see p130 of the manual an action channel could this be the source? How could I get rid of this?
It is doing its scheduled 4 hr ftp upload no problem
Please I'm trying to do this remotely which a slow modem connection, is there a config file I could alter and upload

All Sorted now it was data from previous sessions which had not been cleared, FTP password had been incorrect.
SESSION CLEAR fixed it
